Apt title – Ive long since stopped caring what society thinks or expects me to look like – but I can see how it has affected many folk I have known – A very moving image for me, this is, having had to cope in relationships in which bulimia was a major factor.

Helene, this is really fantastic work!! I love the way it’s blended to the point where it’s difficult to find a start or an end to the imagery (or the start or finish of the pressures imposed on us). The cracked-looking surface, like a network of nerves or bloodvessels, further evokes such a strong visual concept of emotional or psychological pressure.

Martin Derksema, 2 months ago
Good work of art. It very strongly – even painfully – expresses the thoughts behind it. I think the image of women created by marketing and fashion mobsters is a crime against humanity. Fortunately there are other forces at work too: like the Dove campaign for natural beauty. Or like an initiativ from Leonard Nimoy (yes, the actor who played Dr. Spock in Startrek) called The Full Body Project.

Yes Helene, it is such a shame that women have to feel negative about their body.
You have captured it masterful.

I had a very unsettling dream about this concept last night. It’s still bothering me. Makes me want to rip out my TV (we already don’t have cable), and never buy a magazine again. I’m so, fatigued by it all…
